If you watch the Netflix documentary you see how the doctors and nurses were tied down to HIPAA laws, when they wanted to tell the public that there was no way this woman could be pregnant. I just wonder if any of Jamie’s doctors are struggling as well? For instance, she probably didn’t go on birth control, did she use IVF for the twins, or at least fertility drugs. Does she really have an IUD. I could imagine some of her medical team yelling because they know it’s all lies. And there were and are no miracle pregnancies with Jamie.

Just for reference. I have a close friend, who was concerned about earning this title. She is a full time babysitter for her grandson. He just turned 1 in May. Her daughter is a teacher who has the summer off, and she’s being asked to watch the baby for 10 days while her daughter and her husband go on vacation, to relax, followed by an additional weekend, as her daughter goes on a Mothers weekend with girlfriends. She feels the whole thing will exhaust her, but her son in law is giving her a hard time. Any thoughts? Is this a lot to ask

My son is getting married. He and his fiance do not drink. My family does not drink. I am planning on paying for the rehearsal dinner. My son agreed to a restaurant that we will order pizza, salad and appetizers. A few weeks ago we were invited to his fiancé’s graduation dinner. Her side of the family (mom, step mom, dad, stepdad) ordered 3 to 4 drinks each and were even doing shots. For a 1 and 1/2 hour dinner. Is there a polite way to let’s say order the food ahead of time. And then let people drinks can be ordered and paid for at the bar?

I have a very close friend who has one very odd quirk. She loves to attend weddings, baby showers, birthday parties and graduations. She was a teacher so she gets lots of invitations. We are coming up on another one of my children’s weddings and she still brings up on how she “owes” my other children for their past weddings. We are going back 5 years. She will be talking to me about a family shower bridal and or baby, and she always forgets the gift. At one point I reminded her on the way to the wedding, and asked her if she had a gift. Personally I don’t care, but she was on her way to a graduation party and I reminded her, and she said she would try to stop on the way. I have been to some of these lavish weddings along with her, and she makes it a point to speak up and tell the people that she forgot the gift, and will get something to them. It just now makes me cringe

I am expecting my second child anytime now. We have informed both family’s that we will not be attending a lot of activities these last few weeks. We continue to be asked via group chat as to whether or not we will be going. I understand it’s a family group chat. But with that being said, my father in law created a new group chat with extended family, and again extended the invitation with the hopes of seeing everyone there. The event is on my actual due date. My husband or I did not respond. My husband explained that he has told them multiple times, that we will not be there. Are we rude for not responding or are they rude for continuing to ask?

My sons fiance is graduating today. She was only given a small number of tickets, so I am not actually going to the graduation, but I was invited to meet them for dinner. Her parents are divorced, so both sets of parents would be there. I am by no means expecting anyone to pay for my meal. But would it be ok for me to state that I will pay for me and my son? Should I offer to pay for his fiancé? I didn’t want to step on any toes. And I wouldn’t think they should pay for my son? Thoughts?
